Ear candling is a gentle, relaxing treatment to clear the ear canals of accumulated debris and stimulate the flow of energy to the entire head area. It’s an ancient tradition that has been used by folk healers from all over the world. The Chinese, Tibetans, Egyptians, Mayan, Aztec and American Indian cultures have used the therapy in some form for centuries.

During a treatment you will be lying on your side, and the lit candle is gently inserted into the ear canal. A soft crackling sound is heard, similar to the noise of an open fire. Popping may also be heard as chunks of wax are dislodged from the ear.

The burning of the candle creates a warming vacuum (like a chimney), to draw excess matter from the ears and promote circulation. It is also said that the flame draws energy into the body and stimulates the acupressure points located in the region of the ear.

After a treatment you will feel relaxed, grounded and notice an improvement in hearing. Ear candling is an excellent therapy for relieving conditions affecting the head and ear area such as:

• sinus congestion
• glue ear
• ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
• age-related deafness
• hearing problems
• swimmers ear
• flying discomfort
• excessive ear wax

Treatments are available with our therapists, and we also sell the candles so you can do follow up treatments at home.
